Hui Chen, Chao Li, Andrew W. O. Poon +1 more

We report double- notch-shaped microdisk resonators for silicon nonlinear-optic applications with direct in/out coupling via the microdisk notches. We measure optical bistability and resonance wavelength redshifts induced by the notch-coupled pump light.

Bistable lasing in twin microdisk photonic molecules

Satoru Ishii, Toshihiko Baba

We demonstrate the bistable lasing in a photonic molecule consisting of twin microdisks. When the photonic molecule was nonuniformly photopumped, the bistability and/or mode switching were observed with an effective pump power of <100μW. The rate equation analysis indicated that the operation was based on saturable absorption and gain switching, which depended on the nonuniformity, disk diameter detuning, and Q factors of coupled modes. Such a bistable laser, particularly showing the mode switching, will be applied for ultrasmall high-speed optical memories, flip-flops, and so on.
